How To Make Your Own Backyard Bubble Solution

There wasn't a summer that went by, when we were younger, without bubbles. We always made the solution ourselves, allowing us to make as many as we wanted, as often as we wanted and most importantly — in the mind of a youngster — as big as we wanted! Here are six trusted bubble solution recipes, all of which only involve the need for a few ingredients for an afternoon full of fun!

The recipes below simply require a quick mix of the ingredients they contain. The dishwashing soaps are specific as different ones have different "bubble making properties," and if you've never purchased glycerin before, check your local drugstore or pharmacy.

Shallow baking pans work great for larger bubble wands while muffin cups hold small amounts for those who are more likely to spill. Try different recipes for different bubbles and don't forget to have fun! Our own personal favorite is the one listed up top, although there are a few in this list we've yet to try!
